No, I didn't and "Ah Ha!" -head slap- that makes complete sense. Silver nitrate & celluloid. Never thought about it before!
I might even try that in my steel-frame 1858. Be fun to work up the load and chrono that one. 4 frames 35mm, 13 frames 16mm, add 20% frames if color.... No primers, no problem, develop match-lock from black iron pipe!
Thanks daswig, it was worth putting on the waders for that nugget!
